If you loved Katatsumori, try True Mothers
Eine Brücke zwischen einem Film, den du schon gesehen hast, und einem, den kaum jemand kennt. Das teilen sie, und was der zweite macht, was der erste nicht macht.
Was sie teilen
Both films are directed by Naomi Kawase, and they both carry the bittersweet, foreign gem, tender mood tags. If that's the register that drew you to Katatsumori, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What True Mothers is
Hitchcock's Vertigo without the mystery. A couple adopts a child after struggling with infertility, only to have the biological mother reappear years later. Carried by Hiromi Nagasaku's understated performance, the film evokes the quiet desperation of lives carefully built.
